About Woodside Nursing and Residential Care Home
Woodside Nursing and Residential Care Home accommodates up to 37 people in two acres of private grounds, providing nursing, residential and dementia care. It supports older residents and people whose needs may include physical disabilities, sensory impairment or learning disabilities.
Residential care is intended for people who need help with bathing, dressing, eating and mobility but do not require full-time nursing. The wider service also offers short and long-term placements, respite and palliative care. Two acres of private grounds give residents outdoor space alongside the home’s three floors and 37 residential rooms.

Questions families ask
Do they accept residents under 65?
Yes, subject to an assessment of their needs. The home supports some people under 65, although it does not support individuals under the stated minimum age in its full guidance.
What is included in the care home accommodation?
Residents can have a furnished or unfurnished room, meals, housekeeping and laundry services. On-site facilities include hair salons, cafes and gardens, with activities and community day trips also available.
How do they handle medical emergencies?
They use a specific emergency protocol. Staff are trained in first aid, CPR and emergency procedures, and assess situations quickly before calling for additional support when needed.
How much does Woodside Nursing and Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Woodside Nursing and Residential Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Central Bedfordshire council paid on average £1,051 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
